I was wondering if anyone else has a bow that they have trouble getting good, consistent bareshaft results with?
I have a light mass weight 62" recurve that shoots OK with fleched shafts but the bareshafts to not hit the target "square on".
I know this can be caused by target materials sometimes.
HOWEVER, I get great results with my 66" and 68" Omega's and my 3# mass weight 68" Yamaha YG68 target recurve.
I have tried a wide variety of spines, point weights, rests etc., with the 62" recurve, without getting the flight I would like to see.
I an quite willing to admit, it could be a simple as my inconsistent form errors, accentuated by a lighter mass, shorter bow.

there is not enough information to give you an answer, its probably due to how the shelf is cut. The farther away from center the shelf is the narrower the usable spine range is. As has been said numerous times; its not how the arrow looks in the target, its where it hits the target in relation to where the arrow is pointed. Get you eye directly over the arrow shaft and point the entire arrow at a vertical line. You want the arrow shaft to hit on or very near that line, for a right hand shooter if the arrow prints left of the line its too stiff, to the right too weak.

"its where it hits the target in relation to where the arrow is pointed"
It does that well with the bareshaft.
Flight is good with fletching.
Maybe that's all that's required for this one.

Yamaha -
Odds are you have the wrong arrows. Just because a bow draws to a certain weight, doesn't mean it will tune to a specific arrow.
Sorry, without seeing you shoot, YOU can't be ruled out as the reason.

If its hitting a vertical line and arrow flight is good with fletching, what more are you trying to do. There is a reason we put feathers on an arrow!

Jon -
While I've never bare shafted "a bow" :^), since the usual procedure is to compare the separation and nock kick-out of the bare shafts to the fletched ones, I think what you're suggesting is sorta implied.
Bob -
I don't know about you, but I want a hell of lot ore than that. The fallacy exists because most people here can't shoot well enough at distance to see the difference. At 20 yards and under, you are correct, very little actually matters.

Viper" Like you I have never shot a non feathered arrow shaft(that better,lol) out of a bow. It would be interesting to see if the shooter would get the same results.

"At 20 yards ,and under, you are correct,very little actually matters" It does to me when shooting a blue faced target for a 300 or 600 score. I tune the bow for best possible score if I do my job. Shooting 3 shot groups with bare shafts is a very good indicator of that. Feathers will correct a lot,and many times to much.Bare shaft shooting for tune works fine if you choose to do so.Just your choice.
